Yeh, sposed to be ever so good, did consider one myself, but it would have been a new one. Wasn't a lot of money for the boat, but by the time it hits the water the costs do mount up, so i went the cheap route and bought s/h in the USA

oooh. I was there when the cougar was upside down, but in their defence it's not really a splash, more like a basic shape to start with, and to dollop the filler and bendy plywood on!
